#5: Am I Success Conscious Or Failure Conscious?

Since I challenge myself two weeks ago to revive my business and my design practice at once I have been thinking deeply, meditating, and researching about success and failure....

Plus part time business owner. And that is definitely NOT time off! So I thought about it longer, and longer, and finally I did. I stopped. Fully. To chill out and go to the beach and have fun with the family.... And this is what happened....
